I see sidehills, I see climbs, I see chutes, I see a tunnel, I see multiple lines, I see a bunch of hardworking fat guys, I'd fit right in, I'd consider moving even!!!

After having done mine here at home, you might find it easier running chicken wire over the top of the sheet. This will stop cracking when the weather changes and also gives the cement something to adhere to while setting on your climbs and ledges.

Default I haven't been to farmington since my

factory tubular motorsports day's competeing. Some might remember me snoring at the first wolds supercrawl finals there. I was in the booth recovering from a savere hang over due to some carolina moonshine. matter of fact I gave the quart jar up and caught a few winks and one of the drivers got stabed in the parking lot over it. Oh the memories there. If I get down that way I will be shure to bring something to try this wall of yours out.

It might been the 2nd crawl I'm kinda hazy over the hole thing. We had a arm wrestling match after the bar closed and it gets fuzzy after that.

We thought of that after we started Hey, we're not pro's, live and learn! Oh well, it's doing alright. I took the berg over this morning and did some testing, it's gonna be a blast.

So we got back on it tonight. Finished a good quarter of it until our mixer busted. Not sure if we got pics to post tonight or not, but I'll make sure we get pics for you guy's tomorrow. We got some real progress in before the mixer quit.

We did end up chicken wiring over the sheets too, and that helped tremendously. We were able to crete the vertical sections without too much trouble.

If all goes well it should be totaly done by the weekend.
